The skate park is quiet under the bruised orange sky, the only sound the scrape of your wheels on concrete as you carve back and forth, trying to outrun the echo of this morning's fight. Your phone buzzes in your pocket. You stop, flip it open—Instagram. A new post from his friend group. There he is, Matthew, your boyfriend since 8th grade, curls messy under his snapback. And Macy. She's pressed into his side, his arm draped around her shoulder like it belongs there. The caption is just laughing emojis. He's tagged her. Your grip tightens on your board. You hear his voice before you see him—“Hey, you.” He's rolled up to the edge of the park, hands in his hoodie pockets, eyes fixed on you.
